A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette College of Communication Faculty Research and Communication, College of Publications 1-1-2010 Branding the Family Drama: Genre Formations and Critical Perspectives on Gilmore Girls Amanda Keeler Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "Branding the Family Drama: Genre Formations and Critical Perspectives on Gilmore Girls," in Screwball Television: Critical Perspectives on Gilmore Girls. Eds. David Scott Diffrient and David Lavery. Syracuse: Syracuse University Press, 2010: 19-35. Publisher Link. © 2010 Syracuse University Press. Used with permission. Branding the Family Drama Genre Formations and Critica[ Perspectives on Gilmore Girls AMANDA R. KEELER Before its debut on October 5, 2000, Gilmore Girls had already made television history. According to an article published in American Demo graphics that year, Gilmore Girls was the "first advertiser advocated show" funded by the Family Friendly Programming Forum (FFPF), a group consisting of major U.S. corporations, who offered up a mil lion dollars to "fund 'family-friendly' script development at the WB," the network that in 2006 partnered with UPN to become the CW ("Television" 2000). Taking into consideration other family-friendly dramatic television series aimed at multigenerational audiences on the CW, such as 7th Heaven (1996-2007) and Everwood (2002-6), one might ask how a program about a single, never-married mom (until the final season), raising her daughter, could constitute family-friendly fare. What particular elements of this Amy Sherman-Palladino cre ation led the FFPF to fund its development? And is "family friendly" a viable genre label? In the context of television programming and criti cism, does genre even matter anymore, considering the hybrid nature of most contemporary series? In this chapter I will investigare what critics have written about Gilmore Girls and how the show has been linked to similar programs in terms of genre classification.
